SPRINGFIELD, IL - The U.S. Supreme Court is giving Illinois' attorney general more time to decide whether to appeal a ruling that the state's ban on the public possession of firearms is unconstitutional.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan now has until June 24 to ask the high court to hear the case.

The 7th Circuit Court of Appeals found Illinois' prohibition on the carrying of concealed firearms unconstitutional in December. It ordered lawmakers to pass legislation to legalize concealed carry by June 9.

The 30-day extension granted by the court Friday does not affect that deadline.

A spokesman says Madigan has not yet decided if she will appeal.

In a petition seeking the extension, Madigan's office stated that the appellate court ruling conflicted with several other rulings on guns.

Does this make sense, you have to have the law by 6-9 but she can appeal it anytime up to 6-24. Does this mean, you could possibly get a CC permit but if she wins the appeal, then they could take your permit away. On a different note, I want to say whatever the feds do, each state is putting gun control into action. My non resident FL permit use to be good in PA, CO, NV and WA but now, those 4 states are no good when it comes to my permit, WA being the last to drop FL. Looks like before long, the FL won't be any good in most states.
